Wow, that was interesting. I just purchased one from Oak Hill. Can't wait for it to bloom!

Not sure I would ever purchase this orchid. I'm for birth control!

I look forward to seeing those pics
Ross - deep down, I think you are just shy knowing orchids would be doing it to themselves under your roof ...
Come on .. admit it! 
Best you not get one of these .. you may never come out of the basement !  |

Interesting that the information in the link is presented as if this is a new phenomenon to science. Darwin described similar pollination techniques in European terrestrial orchids over 100 years ago.

Cj,
"New phenomenon"???? I agree with you, nothing "new" there; interesting, but not new! Cattleya aurantiaca (now "Guarianthe") do the same thing, in some clones the buds never open, the self-pollination happens in a closed room, hidden from curious eyes....
